There’s something about the onset of spring that inspires rejuvenation. Nature is blooming, after all, so why shouldn’t you?
Sometimes, a trip to the spa can be just what you need to feel reset and ready for what’s to come. Calgary has no shortage of excellent spas, which can make it harder to decide where to go and what sort of service to receive. To help you narrow it down, here are ten relaxing spas in Calgary to consider.
The Spa Ritual
This is a classic spa that offers standard services like facials, massages, body scrubs, and mani-pedis. However, it’s the Som’ta Lounge and Bali Sanctuary, available for all guests before and after their appointments, that take The Spa Ritual from a run-of-the-mill spa to a sanctuary.

Exige Medi Spa
Massages aren’t just luxurious — sometimes, they’re medically necessary. Exige Medi Spa specializes in a la carte custom massage treatments so that you can choose the type, tempo, target, and pressure, along with complimentary upgrades. They also offer a 100 per cent satisfaction guarantee.

Distilled Beauty Bar
Distilled offers a variety of beauty services, including medical aesthetics, hair, nails, and facials. What makes the beauty bar unique is its dry pedicures, which replace a foot bath with a hot towel service. There’s also a full-service cafe/bar at the front of the establishment, because who doesn’t want an espresso martini while getting their toes painted?

Soma
This Seton self-care sanctuary offers a myriad of services, but its Hammam is a can’t-miss. Hammam begins with a full-body wash, followed by a few different scrubs, conditioning scalp massage and hairwash, and a luxurious body butter application. It’s one of the oldest and most celebrated spa treatments for a reason!

Skoah
Did you know Skoah does facials? I thought it was just a skincare store, but boy was I wrong. Skoah facials are customized for your needs and include deep cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, customized masks, and massages. And, if you like it, you can buy the products onsite. Because it’s a store and a facial spa. Who knew?
